Credit hours requirement for admission

guilt — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:14:30 +0800

Ok, let me make this short, I am taking undergraduate degree in UTM, 3.5years, 112 credit hours in total, bachelor degree. New intake students are 4 years, 128 credit hours.

Now, the question is, will there be any problem if i want to do master in oversea university? coz i heard story about people not being able to get into a university in Japan/US because their credit hours is deemed insufficient for an undergraduate degree.

Googling around the universities' website doesn't give me any info, most of them only mention "equivalent degree". is there anyway i can find out what is their "equivalent"?

Like the title states, any recommendation? i have been looking around the hp, lenovo, and asus' site, but found none that fits the bill.
Preferably with at least 3 hours of battery life as well, spec isn't too important, as most laptops nowadays have considerable power already..

No brands preferences, but i would like to avoid acer if possible,

Edit: just noticed the recommendation thread, pls close this one. sorry.

Hi,
I am going to start doing my internship early next year in Bangi,
so, what is it like to live there? how is the living cost? (food, etc)
is the public transport there good?
and also, for students doing internship (read:limited budget), what are the recommended accommodation? and where can we find more info on those? (like a classified website)

thanks before,

Max resolution for laptop with VGA connector?

guilt — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 00:24:06 +0800

Hi,

I uses a asus K40ab laptop, and im planning to buy either a 21" or 23" LCD to be my display.
my concern is, im not sure if my laptop support the maximum resolution those LCD has to offer, because as you know, asusK40ab only provide a VGA connector even though it has a ATI mobility HD4570 graphic card.

i know that some VGA support up to 2000+ px resolution, but with some degration in its quality, still i have never seen 1, so i cant be sure. anyone here has any experience on this??

Thanks before
